Barack Obama Calls Kanye West a “Jackass” (Audio)
UPDATE: Obama Says Kanye West Is a Jackass VIDEO
President Barack Obama has weighed in on Kanye West hijacking the MTV Video Music Awards stage, and moment away from Taylor Swift on Sunday night, by appropriately calling West a “Jackass” according to Politico.
The off-the-record comment was not suppose to reach the light of day, but the viral kudzu that is Twitter caught wind of it when ABC News reporter Terry Moran tweeted the swipe but has since deleted the tweet.
Here is the text of Moran’s tweet about the President’s opinion on West:
“Pres. Obama just called Kanye West a “jackass” for his outburst at VMAs when Taylor Swift won. Now THAT’S presidential.”
Smart move by the President if you ask me. His approval has been down and he has been divisive in his policy making and plans. So what better than to finally say something that 95% of Americans agree with?

Check out what Obama said about Kanye West’s interruption of Taylor Swift at this weeks MTV Video Music Awards! I didn’t vote for the guy but this IS priceless!!!! I don;t like Obama but I dislike Kanye West 10 times more!
The president just spoke his mind out loud. And I think West himself must be regretful, he apologized for what he’ve done on another show.
